Israelis aren’t like the rest of us.
They’re often perceived as rude, pushy, and outspoken, saying exactly what's on their minds without worrying about how their words might affect others—or at least, that’s the impression many tourists and new immigrants to Israel get.
But there’s another side to Israelis that’s often overlooked. From personal experience, I can tell you that Israelis are some of the most generous and community-minded people you’ll ever meet. They’ll literally give you the shirt off their back to help someone in need. I once witnessed a young man at a bus stop do just that—he took off his shirt to press against the forehead of an elderly woman who had fainted and cut herself, stopping the bleeding until help arrived.
In today’s episode of Inside Israel, I sit down with cultural trainer Osnat Lautman to delve into the complexities of the Israeli personality and explore why Israelis think, act, and behave (and sometimes misbehave) the way they do.
Osnat, the author of two books on cultural differences, specializes in helping Israelis collaborate effectively with non-Israeli colleagues, and vice versa—because understanding the Israeli mindset is crucial to working with them.
We also tackle the question of cultural differences in today’s politically correct world. Is it still okay to say that people from different nationalities or ethnic groups think and act differently?

Believe it or not, there’s more to Joel than being a podcast host, stand-up comedian, MC, NJBA award-winning author, and father of four. Having had a Jewish upbringing in Chicago, a few life-changing teachers at Solomon Schechter, and making the “best stupid decision” of his life to draft in the IDF as a lone soldier, Joel reflects on why, if he had to do it all over again, he would.
In this episode of Inside Israel, Joel takes the passenger’s seat as Inside Israel podcast coordinator, Yael Gargir, peels away the titles and gets to the core of who Joel is as a person. Sit back as we unpack the multi-talent figure responsible for making thousands of people smile.

In this bonus episode, Joel explains the ins and outs of Israel's hostage deal with Hamas. The deal calls for 33 Israeli hostages to be released during Phase One; the first three - Romi, Emily, and Doron - returned to Israel this past Sunday.

Last week, Israeli tennis star Lina Glushko was prohibited from wearing a yellow hostage pin during her qualifying match at the Australian Open.
—a stark reminder of the world's discomfort with acknowledging the harsh reality of 101 hostages held in underground dungeons by Jihadist terrorists.
In this episode of Inside Israel, I explore the implications of this decision: what does it mean to live in a world that refuses to acknowledge that 101 women, children, and men are being held in underground dungeons by Jihadist terrorists?
I'll also discuss the heartbreaking toll of more than 400 IDF soldiers lost in Gaza and the message that several hundred Israeli parents are now delivering to the government about the ongoing war.
Finally, I’ll reflect on my return to Israel after three months on tour in North America, offering a personal perspective on re-entering the heart of the news after being far from it.

In today’s episode of Inside Israel, I’m joined by his friend and fellow comedian Benji Lovitt to discuss our love-hate relationship with El-Al, Israel’s national airline.
From indifferent customer service and faux-canceled flights to the all-too-familiar sight of kids running wild in the aisles, El-Al’s slogan, “Kmo lihiyot babayit” (“Like Being at Home!”), feels all too fitting. Over the past year, the airline has worsened its reputation by engaging in price gouging, exploiting the fact that other airlines have stopped flying in and out of Israel.
Despite these nightmare scenarios, Benji and I can’t help but find humor in the chaos and, in a strange way, a sense of community. Tune in as we share our outrageous stories and try to make sense of what’s next for Israel’s infamous airline.

What are Israelis talking about right now?
The Houthis, for starters. How are they still managing to strike us? And why are we still taking it, instead of hitting back hard and kicking their ass?
And then there’s Iran. Could this finally be the moment for a preemptive strike, one in which we dismantle their nuclear program once and for all?
But mostly, the conversations – at least in the circles I’m in – are about the games our politicians continue to play. Instead of focusing on what truly matters – ending the war in Gaza and bringing home the 101 hostages – they’re busy with self-serving theatrics: visiting the Temple Mount, staging press conferences to defend their wives against a so-called “left-wing media,” pushing judicial reform, and doing whatever it takes to save their own political skins.
In today’s episode of Inside Israel, I’ll break down these political maneuvers, explain what’s driving them, and explore why they persist despite growing public outrage.
Poll after poll shows we’re paying attention – and we’re pissed.

When IDF soldiers deploy to Gaza, where do they sleep?
What do they eat?
And yes, where do they handle the more basic human need, like, as my mother would say, “Going number one and number two”?
On today’s episode of Inside Israel we speak with IDF Master Sergeant Jacob. He’s a Lone Soldier from Los Angeles who just returned from a tour of duty in the Gaza Strip.
Since October 7th, hundreds of thousands of young Israelis have served in Gaza, but little is known about the gritty, day-to-day reality of life there.
Today, with the help of Jacob, we get an inside look at the raw, unfiltered truth of a soldier's experience in Gaza.
When he’s not serving in the IDF, Jacob runs Modern Maccabi (https://www.modernmaccabi.com), a startup whose mission is to instill young Jews in the Diaspora with confidence and motivation to create change in their communities for today and the next generation.

Want to know a secret?
I’ve got a tiny crush on Amanda Borschel-Dan. (Shhh!)
You know who I’m talking about: Amanda’s host of the Times of Israel’s The Daily Briefing podcast. She’s wicked smart, seriously funny, and that accent…I mean, what’s not to like?
And don’t worry, this crush of mine – it’s nothing serious. Dorit (my wife) knows, and doesn’t care.
Still: I think all of us would like to know Amanda a bit better. And in today’s today’s episode of Inside Israel, that’s exactly what we do, as I sit down with Amanda and ask her the really big questions, like:
Why is Amanda obsessed with the Hebrew word for bird poop?
How did she get into journalism and podcasting in the first place?
And just where did she get that crazy part-Israeli, part-Canadian, part-American-Midwest accent?
Amanda also shares her journey from being a semi-anonymous journalist to becoming the most trusted voice in Israel-related news. Plus, she gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the hard work and dedication it takes to produce just one episode of Daily Briefing.
And in the "Hebrew is Magic" segment, Amanda introduces us to one of the most melodious words in the Hebrew language—only to reveal that its true meaning is a bit... well, dirty!
This is a replay of an episode that originally dropped three months two months ago. It’s back by popular demand.

Lebanon.
It is a quagmire. A mess. And despite this – or maybe because of it – we keep going back.
In today’s episode of Inside Israel, I explain Lebanon to you. We’ll start in June 1982, with Operation Peace to the Galilee – a war that brought anything but peace. I’ll tell you why Israel ended up staying in Lebanon for 18 more years, until a sudden pullout in 2000, and why we’ve returned two more times since then.
Along the way, I’ll share stories from my own experiences as a combat soldier in the South Lebanon Security Zone in the late 1990s.
I’ll also tell you why Lebanon has sometimes been referred to by Israelis as “Israel’s little Vietnam,” as well as what Israel might learn from our mistakes in Lebanon in the past, so that we don’t repeat those same mistakes in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon in the years ahead.

Last week, Captain Yogev Pazy z’’l was killed in Gaza.
Like all of the 378 IDF soldiers who have fallen in Gaza to date, Yogev is more than just a statistic. He was a fun-loving kid with aspirations and dreams. And someone who, as a teenager, made an impact on a Jewish community 10,000 miles from his home.
On today’s episode of Inside Israel, we speak with Tobi and Scott Perlen of Northbrook, Illinois. In 2020-21, the Perlens and their three children hosted Yogev in their home for six months, during his stint in the shin-shinim program, in which he served as a volunteer emissary in the Chicago Jewish community.
Tobi and Scott will tell us about the Yogev they knew and came to love, including favorite memories of their time Yogev. They’ll also tell us about the moment they heard the terrible news that Yogev z’’l had fallen – and how and why their lives will be impacted by him forever.

On “Inside Israel,” I always strive to tell you the truth – even when it hurts.
In this week’s episode, we’ll talk about the emotional and physical toll that the ongoing war is taking on Israelis. While resilience has long been a defining trait, many Israelis now feel spent. With more than 375 soldiers having been killed in Lebanon and Gaza, and our hostages still not home, we’re losing our sense of hope.
Meanwhile, the political landscape offers little solace. Judicial overhaul is back on the table, and the ultra-Orthodox Haredi population continues to refuse to serve in the military, despite the IDF being 20,000 soldiers short of what’s needed to fight wars on two fronts.
And, of course, I answer your questions.

Thousands of years ago, the Jewish people gave the world the most important story ever told: the Bible.
So why is it that today, we Jews suck at storytelling?
On today’s episode of Inside Israel, we’ll talk about the power of stories. We’ll do that through the lens of last week's US presidential election, in which Kamala Harris suffered a tough defeat against Donald Trump.
Believe it or not, we Jews have a lot to learn from Harris’ and the Democrats' storytelling-related mistakes – particularly when it comes to how we speak publicly about Israel.
I’ll also cover one of the past week’s biggest news stories—Prime Minister Netanyahu’s dismissal of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant—and tell you how Israelis are reacting to this move.
And, as always, I’ll answer your questions.

In this week’s episode of Inside Israel, we address listener questions on the U.S. election and how Israelis and Americans living in Israel view the two presidential candidates, as well as the current status of negotiations for the release of the more than 100 Israeli hostages still being held in Gaza.
We then explore three off-the-radar news stories that Israelis are talking about: the daring Shayetet 13 Navy SEAL raid in northern Lebanon, which showcased Israel’s reach and intelligence capabilities; a leak from the office of Prime Minister Netanyahu regarding Hamas' true motivations in hostage negotiations; and a controversial bill providing subsidized daycare for ultra-Orthodox families whose fathers are avoiding military service.
Finally, a big thank you to everyone who contributed to our Fall 2024 fundraiser on behalf of the podcast, which raised over $9,000. Many of you have heard of big-name podcasts like Joe Rogan and Call Her Daddy, but the truth is that most podcasters are just people like me with a microphone and a message to share. It means the world to me that Inside Israel is able to bring your insights and meaning that you value.

In this week’s episode of Inside Israel, titled “Skeleton,” we try something different: instead of saving them for the end, I address listener questions at the beginning – everything from how Israelis think about anti-Semitism in the US, to how pro-Israel Jews in America might think about the upcoming Presidential election and whether Israelis celebrate Halloween.
In the news segment, I discuss Israel’s recent strategic success in Iran, which involved disabling key air defense systems and setting back missile production capabilities, sending a clear signal to Iran that we have the capacity to operate within Iranian airspace pretty much at will. I also reflect on the tragic ramming attack at Glilot Junction in Herzliya, as well as the deaths of five modern-Orthodox Reserve soldiers in Lebanon, one of whom was a Judaic studies teacher in my town, Ra’anana.
We close the pod by talking about the impact of these events on a personal level, including my wife Dorit’s latest project on behalf of IDF soldiers in Lebanon.

In this week’s episode of Inside Israel, we delve into the recent elimination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, a significant victory for Israel. It was an unexpected success, what we refer to in Hebrew as a “fooks,” or happy accident. I’ll explore this moment through three lenses: how it provides psychological closure for Israelis, opens a window of opportunity for a potential hostage deal, and leaves a sense of confusion as we no longer have a central figure to negotiate with.
But before exploring that, I want to honor the late Colonel Achsan Dachsa. A respected Druze officer and commander of the IDF’s 401st Armored Brigade, Dachsa was someone I had the pleasure of meeting five years ago at a fundraiser in Toronto. After his speech and my comedy performance, we spoke about our respective experiences as tank soldiers (Not surprisingly, his was far more impressive than mine.) When I told him that two of my own kids would soon be entering the IDF, he offered to help them through the draft process, and we exchanged phone numbers. His warmth and kindness left a lasting impression, and I regret never taking up his invitation for a meal in Dalyat Al-Carmel.
This episode pays tribute to his memory and service.

In today’s episode of Inside Israel we meet the gal behind the mic of the world’s most popular English-language Israel news podcast: Amanda Borschel-Dan, host of the Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing.
We’ll learn how she fell in love with Israel in the first place and why one of the world’s foremost Torah scholars is partly responsible for Amanda ultimately moving here.
I also speak with Amanda about her journey from semi-anonymous journalist to becoming the most trusted voice in Israel-related news, including a behind-the-scenes glimpse at what it takes to produce just one Daily Briefing episode.
And, in the "Hebrew is Magic" segment, Amanda talks to us about one of the most beautiful-sounding words in the Hebrew language and reveals how its actual meaning is actually a bit, well, filthy.

In this episode of Inside Israel, titled "Joel's Dilemma," I reflect on the conflicting emotions I have as the host of this podcast, about the story I convey to you about Israel and my life here.
On one hand, I’ve always wanted to showcase the beauty, magic, and uniqueness of living in Israel. That’s why I wrote Israel 201 and launched this podcast exactly one year ago.
But on the other hand, I’m feeling increasingly pessimistic about the future, especially in the short term. While I’m hopeful for long-term peace and stability (where “long-term” means 60 or so years down the road), the current situation leaves me questioning the path forward.
In tonight’s pod, I explore a few specific areas of concern, starting with Gaza. With hostages still being held and ongoing violence, I wonder if Israel’s decision to pull out in 2005 was a mistake.
I also delve into the complexities of Lebanon and Iran, both of which seem to have no clear endgame in sight. I even ask whether revolutions in these regions are the only hope for lasting change.
Closer to home, the rise of terrorism within Israel itself, as well as from the West Bank, leaves the country in a state of dysfunction, with inadequate resources to even protect citizens, as evidenced by recent attacks and logistical failures in mobilizing the Reserves.
Finally, I address listener questions, ranging from the media’s lack of attention on displaced Israelis in the north to sightings of U.S. soldiers in Israel.

In this special 50th episode of Inside Israel, I focus on the breaking news of Israel’s elimination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. While I originally planned this episode as a reflection on the past year of the podcast, the significance of this event was too big to ignore. To help you better understand how Israelis are reacting to the news of Nasrallah’s death and Israel’s current war with Hezbollah, I break down seven key takeaways, including the blow to Hezbollah’s power, the ripple effect on Iran’s coalition, and the political responses here in Israel.
I also touch on how this development has brought much of Israel together, with a few exceptions like Betzalel Smotrich and Yair Lapid. I also dig into the reactions from the Arab world and call out the international media, from NPR to the New York Times, for their biased and flat-out backwards coverage of recent events.
While this episode highlights Israel’s success, we cannot forget the hostages still held in Gaza and the haunting questions from the October 7th attacks.

For the past eleven months, I’ve been predicting that, eventually, Israel will go to war with Hezbollah.
Well, guess what: the war has come!
In this episode of Inside Israel, I dive into the latest developments in the conflict I’ve been talking about. This “war” is unfolding in unexpected ways—from covert missions against Hezbollah leadership to a barrage of missiles that have left the country on edge. I break down the psychology behind Hezbollah’s actions and speculate on what’s coming next, all while giving you a feel for the unique mood in Israel—a mix of resilience, frustration, and that unmistakable Israeli toughness.
In addition to the usual content, I have some exciting news: I’m launching a fundraising campaign to keep Inside Israel going strong! Inside Israel is free, and I plan to keep it that way. That said, producing this podcast costs $10,000 a year, and I’m asking for your help to hit that goal. Whether it’s $10 a month or even just a dollar, every contribution makes a difference. And hey, if you’re feeling generous, a $250 donation allows you to sponsor an episode in honor or memory of someone you care about.
